Hi everyone! It’s Amy with
expressionsvinyl.com. I’m so excited to show you a fun project on how to cut
HTV without a machine. The pineapple image I used was from a simple google
search.

After printing and cutting out the
pineapple, I placed it on the plastic carrier sheet of the Old Gold glitter
HTV. I taped top and bottom so it won’t move as I traced. Then I used a permanent
marker to trace the outline of the paper pineapple.

Once the pineapple was traced, I removed
the paper pineapple and cut the glitter HTV with scissors. I didn’t worry about
the inside design of the pineapple because I’m going to free hand that later.

Now that the pineapple is cut out, I
used my fat max cutting knife to free hand cut the inner portion of the
pineapple. With this old gold glitter HTV, I just want an outline of the pineapple so it didn't matter how thick to cut.

Next, is the inner pineapple design.
I used glitter HTV white, glitter HTV light green, and Siser EasyWeed Electric
Cherry. I cut out lines and triangles and placed them in and on top of the
pineapple.

The first layer I heat pressed was
the outline of the pineapple (old gold glitter HTV).

The next layer was the Siser EasyWeed
Electric Cherry

Lastly, was the triangles in the
glitter HTV white. A tip for getting the carrier sheet off the triangles is to
take a permanent marker and put a dot on each piece. Once you finish pressing
this layer, use the weeding tool to pick off the carrier sheets and the black
dots help you see which triangles have still have the carrier sheet on or not.

And there you go! Hopefully you have
some inspiration on creating your own HTV project without using a machine!
